Instructions

Combine diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and let it boil for 20 minutes while stirring every couple of minutes. Use a wooden spoon to help break down the peaches until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Pour the preserves into a large glass jar or several smaller jars with a sealed lid and refrigerate. Store for up to 2 months or longer.

Notes

Ensure the peaches are ripe for the best flavor.
You can adjust the sugar according to your taste preference.
For a spicier twist, consider adding a cinnamon stick during cooking.
